interview Christopher Hanany (Madonna Dancer)

Christopher Hanany (aka Kyubee) was one of the finalists of the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange contest in New York City performing in front of Madonna to get a job as a dancer on her upcoming world tour. Ultimate Concert Experience (UCE) interviewed him on the occasion of this final in order to find out why he participated and what made him a dancer he is now.

UCE : What is your background in dance?
I started dancing at age 14 after having seen the movie "You Got Served".

UCE : What are your dancing experiences before you attend the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange final ?
My experience has been to work abroad with great choreographers.

UCE : Do you write your choreography yourself?
Yes.

UCE : Who are the great examples that you admire in dance?
I have no ties of admiration, only inspiration.

UCE : What do you think of all television programs such as "So You Think You Can Dance" ?
It's a good program to showcase the talented dancers.

UCE : How creative are you ? To what are you inspired ?
I am inspired by all flim, people, music .... My imagination does the rest.

UCE : What was the main reason to participate in the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange event ?
Madonna!!

UCE : Would you also have participated if it was not supported by Madonna?
Yes, of course because it is the opportunity to travel and meet other dancers and choreographers .

UCE : Can you describe the road to the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange finale ?
It's simple, a friend told me about the audition, I simply sent a video, I was contacted by Smirnoff later to tell me that I had to come to New York. The waiting period was a period of stress but it's still a great memory.

UCE : Can you tell us more about the final night of the Smirnoff Night Exchange project ?

It was very exciting to dance to Madonna, it gave me the feeling I really want to go on tour with her!

UCE : What are your future plans about dance?

I hope to dance for her, if I make a creation for the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris. From September 2012 I shall dance with the contemporary company ECO the tale "Skin Of Donkey" of Charle Perrault and brothers Grimm.
